In my humble opinion, that is an excellent idea.
Many an argument can made for some of the positivities of social media, such as direct engagement, announcing projects/tours/news in a very expeditious manner, and of course dispelling rumors, untruths and disinformation.
However, on the flip side, I think social media, has created far more negativity than positivity, unity and creativity. So again, with that premise, I think Coverdale disconnecting to enjoy his life, is the correct, and healthy, decision.
I couldn’t agree more, Dana. If social media and the internet were solely used for good things, it would be one of the best things. Sadly, it has created hatred, fighting, division, lies and now with the advancement of AI, I expect it to just get worse. This site is as close as I come to social media. I do not have any social media accounts.
RPS,
I also have no proper social media accounts either, by that, I mean: no Twitter, no Facebook, no Instagram, no Yotube and no Tiktok (which is owned by China, namely the CCP).
I never had them and never will.
